In Iran, dual-career couples face many stressors due to their demands of balancing work and family. Moreover, the experience of this stress can negatively affect partners' martial quality. Recent studies have shown the positive impact of dyadic coping on well-being; however, a majority of this research has been conducted with Western cultures. As such, there is a dearth of literature on understanding how supportive and common dyadic coping may have a positive association with work-family stress for couples in Iran. Using a sample of 206 heterosexual dual-career couples from Iran, this study examines the associations between job stress and marital quality, and possible moderating effects of common and perceived partner supportive dyadic coping. As predicted, job stress was negatively associated with marital quality, and this association with further moderated by gender, such that women who experienced greater job stress also reported lower marital quality. Additionally, dyadic coping moderated the association between job stress and marital quality. Common dyadic coping attenuated the negative association between job stress and marital quality. The findings shed light on the possible beneficial effects of teaching supportive and common dyadic coping techniques to dual-career couples in Iran.
在伊朗，双职工夫妻由于需要平衡工作和家庭而面临诸多压力源。此外，这种压力体验会对伴侣的婚姻质量产生负面影响。近期研究表明二元应对方式对幸福感有积极影响；然而，大部分此类研究是在西方文化背景下进行的。因此，关于理解支持性和共同性二元应对方式如何与伊朗夫妻的工作-家庭压力产生积极关联的文献十分匮乏。本研究以206对来自伊朗的异性双职工夫妻为样本，考察工作压力与婚姻质量之间的关联，以及共同性和感知到的伴侣支持性二元应对方式可能产生的调节作用。正如所预测的，工作压力与婚姻质量呈负相关，且这种关联会因性别进一步受到调节，即经历更大工作压力的女性报告的婚姻质量也更低。此外，二元应对方式调节了工作压力与婚姻质量之间的关联。共同性二元应对方式减弱了工作压力与婚姻质量之间的负相关。这些研究结果揭示了向伊朗双职工夫妻传授支持性和共同性二元应对技巧可能产生的有益效果。
